When Aiko heard that Linda had refused Isaac's invitation and hadn't joined the Ice Flower Adventure Team, she was relieved.
But the arrival of Davin and the others made her heart jump into her throat again.
For Isa, a well-regarded level 15 healer and a healer who can lead the Ice Flower Adventure Team through the twelfth floor have completely different meanings.
Command is usually given by the team leader, but Isa is a front-line class, and multitasking is extremely taxing on her stamina. Therefore, when the team leader is a front-line class, this task is usually delegated to the back-line support, which is how the Snow Goose Adventure Team does it.
Linda's departure from the team has undoubtedly given Isa a reason to be eager to try her luck.
Once she bends down and begs, Linda might just join in.
The main problem is that Leah is too shameless. Compared to Linda, it's very likely that Isa will take advantage of her vulnerability.
Even though they were all flat-chested... Ai Ke's disgust almost showed on her face.
"I'm sorry, Linda isn't home. You've made a wasted trip."
After chasing Davin and the others away, the smile on Aiko's face gradually disappeared. She stared coldly at another mansion in the same neighborhood and couldn't help but punch the wall.
As a mage, her delicate fist was torn and bleeding.
He seemed oblivious, biting his lip with a somber expression.
Instead of licking their own boots, they've gone to lick the ice flower?
On what grounds?
Ai Ke made the panda so angry it was about to explode.
She had spent three years carefully raising her dog, and it wasn't even time to reap the rewards yet. Why should Isha steal it away halfway through?
Linda wanders around outside like a stray dog, fine. But if someone wants to take the stray dog home, Ai Ke absolutely refuses.
"What's mine, no one can take away..."
Aiko bit her thumb with a dark look in her eyes, her teeth chewing like a wild beast, making a clicking sound as she rubbed her nails together, a sound that sent chills down your spine.
Just then, a stray cat happened to pass by. When it saw the monster with two large tumors on its chest, it was so frightened that it let out a shriek and ran away.
"What's wrong, Aiko? It's so noisy outside."
Lia walked out with a stern face.
"It's nothing, just a swarm of flies. I chased them away."
Aiko instantly resumed her smile, hiding her injured right hand behind her back, her voice gentle and kind.
The change of expression was so rapid, it was as if the person was wearing a mask.
"Really?" Leah asked absentmindedly, without questioning further, and returned to the villa.
Eko deliberately didn't tell Leah about Linda helping Isa.
What if Leah suddenly has a change of heart and goes to find Linda and bring her back?
Although it's highly unlikely that this will happen, what if it does? If something happens between the two of them, her plans will be ruined.
Eko could see right through Lia's thoughts, but as for Linda... three years ago, there might have been some feelings involved, but now, Eko wasn't sure.
"Whether it's Leah or Isa, if you insist on taking her from me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Light shone from the villa's open door, casting a shadow on Aiko's face through the eaves.
Behind Lia's back, out of sight, Eiko squinted, her cheeks flushed, and a twisted smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
It was like a giant, man-eating beast lurking in the darkness, its gaping maw, full of serrated teeth, dripping with thick saliva.
Eko used magic to power her wheelchair and followed Leah into the villa. Throughout the entire ordeal, Leah failed to notice anything unusual about Eko.
...
At the same time.
Room 303, a rental unit in an old residential area in the Sparrow District.
Squeak~
The wooden door opened, and Kaphni returned with food.
"Here, this is for you." Kaphni placed a fragrant, hot pork chop rice bowl in front of Linda.
Linda looked up in surprise: "Thanks?"
"Heh, no matter how ruthless I am, I will not let the hero go hungry. After all, we still need the hero to defeat the Demon King."
Kaphni opened her deluxe eel rice bowl, held her head high, and spoke with an air of superiority.
Seeing the eel rice in her hand, Linda's eyelids twitched; a bad feeling crept over him. Pork cutlet rice cost 20 copper coins, and deluxe eel rice was at least 50... By that calculation, he and Kaphni had less than 1 silver coin left in their savings.
He's practically... a god of extravagance!
Linda sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Although I don't want to do this, I have to borrow some gold coins from an old friend tomorrow.
If you consume like this at Kaphni, you'll be starving the day after tomorrow.
"But why not two deluxe eel rice bowls?"
He suddenly found it strange. If Kaphni had no concept of money, why didn't she bring him the same thing? It was a cheap pork chop rice, but hers was expensive.
"Two portions don't cost a silver coin?" Kaphni asked matter-of-factly. "Heroes are supposed to serve the gods, right? It's already a great favor that you didn't bring any white rice."
“That makes a lot of sense.” Linda smiled insincerely and stretched her arms. “I think we’d better figure out who the ‘master’ is.”
Kaphni's expression changed slightly, clearly knowing that she was no match for Linda.
Linda's Warrior class has extremely high initial attributes.
Despite being only level 0, her attributes were already comparable to those of a level 3 warrior, far surpassing those of a level 0 thief like herself.
"Wait...! Actually, I was just kidding. I only bought eel rice because something good happened!"
Kaphni, sweating profusely, anxiously explained, "The 'Legendary Skill Stone' I ordered has arrived. I spent all my contribution points to buy it, so treating it to an eel rice bowl isn't too much to ask, is it?"
She quickly took out a round, golden stone from her bosom.
